Once again, Susan's days off have rolled by! Where did they go? They went into a couple of loads of laundry, some work in the bathroom, sizing some trim for the back entrance, grocery shopping, and the on going clean up! Oh yes, we took a two hour break. When she took me out for wings, Wednesday evening at the Sports page for supper!
We have the next batch of trim set up in the basement ready for it's first coat of paint. Perhaps, even I might try and tackle this later today. Susan does not usually allow, paint, a brush, in the same room with me at the same time. Let me just say, I've been told there were some bad experiences that I do not recall! Anyways my painting skills have somewhat improved, as I demonstrated on the outside of the house and garage this fall. It's all in the prep work! Lot's of drop cloth's and paper to protect everything around you'll..., and lots of time and plenty of faith!
I see once again the weather man has revised the forecast! Fall is loosing fore ground to old man winter. We are already at our high for the day, perhaps fall is just building up some strength for a counter offensive! I sure hope it appears soon, as the clock is ticking down towards halloween and the arrival of all the little trick and treaters.
I was thinking that I could dress up in some sort of costume this year when I pass out the candy to all the kids as they come around. This is something that my second oldest, Nicole does. This is my daughter that is due with baby "M" in about 4 months. I am not sure who or what nicole will dress up as this year, I just know it will be something spectacular! No chasing kids down the street this year trying to give your candy away Mickey Mouse!
Today while Susan is at work I will have to come up with a meal plan and grocery list for the next week. I have to take into consideration what we have remaining in the freezer down stairs, yes we are still trying to get it empty! Then come up with a schedule of meals, and finally a plan for shutting it (freezer) down. When this is done we will be able to defrost, clean, and have it ready for pickup by the new owners. Who I am sure are anxiously awaiting it!
It is definitely daylight in the swamp! Time to see if Susan wants to get her day started, and what challenges we might face today. Hopefully every day starts the same, just by waking up! But after that, we are not sure what challenges we might face. That is why we are Building the Simple life..........................
